When lifestyle changes aren’t enough, the next step may be to take medicine. Your health care
provider can tell you about special drugs for overactive bladder (OAB).
There are several drug types that can relax the bladder muscle. These drugs, like anti-muscarinics and
beta-3 agonists, can help stop your bladder from squeezing when it’s not full. Some are taken as pills, by
mouth. Others are gels or a sticky transdermal patch to give you the drug through your skin.
Anti-muscarinics and betta-3 adrenoceptor agonists can relax the bladder muscle and increase the
amount of urine your bladder can hold and empty. Combination drugs, like using both anti-muscarinics
and - betta-3 adrenoceptor agonists together may help control OAB when one option alone isn’t working.
Your health care providers will want to know if the medicine works for you. They will check to see
if you get relief or if the drug causes problems, known as side effects. Some people get dry mouth and dry
eyes, constipation, or blurred vision. If one drug you try doesn’t work, your health care provider may ask
you to take different amounts, give you a different one to try, or have you try two types together. Lifestyle
changes and medicine at the same time help many people.

 The construction of Stadium 974, previously known as Ras Abu Aboud Stadium, has been completed
ahead of schedule for the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar. The stadium is located in the city of
Doha, Qatar, and can host up to 40,000 spectators.
The stadium is built according to a modular design, using recycled shipping containers, and is set to
be dismantled after the 2022 World Cup concludes, making it the first-ever temporary World Cup
stadium.
The arena is made of 974 shipping containers and modular, structural steel, earning its name
“Stadium 974”. The Shipping containers and seats, once dismantled, will be provided as assistance to
under-developed countries in Africa.
The shape and gaps between the seats allow natural ventilation and artificial cooling. Moreover, the
stadium’s proximity to the Persian Gulf offers a natural cool breeze to lighten the load on the stadium’s
cooling systems. The containers making up the exterior also serve as spaces to hold staircases,
concessions, and restrooms. The containers have also delivered other construction materials to the job
site.
Designed by Fenwrick Iribarren Architects, Stadium 974 features a modular design, reducing the
construction cost, duration, and material waste. In addition to that, the use of water will be reduced by
40% compared to conventional stadium construction due to the efficient methods introduced. Stadium
974’s innovative design is inspired by Qatar’s worldwide trade and seafaring. Due to its short lifetime, it
set a new benchmark and guided the way towards more sustainable and legacy-driven sporting
competitions, opening up hosting opportunities to countries all over the world.
The stadium’s design has received a five-star certification in the Global Sustainability Assessment
System (GSAS), which rates green building and infrastructure across the Middle East and North Africa.
Here at Hanlons, we love seeing this ingenuity and sustainable use of existing building materials to
create a temporary structure for world events and look forward to witnessing further innovative
sustainable practices for the delivery of the 2032 “climate positive” Olympic Games in Brisbane.
